Menichi Kiccho

There aren't many joints in Tokyo serving Shirakawa-style ramen from Fukushima, so this Oimachi shop can count on a steady stream of fans seeking out their fix of traditional, soy sauce-based chuka soba that's so well-loved up in Tohoku. Served in a fatty soup made with chicken broth, the flat noodles are apparently just like those favoured by Shirakawa folk. For an alternative, try the seafood-flavoured shina soba, a fresh mixture with an interestingly deep aftertaste.
